Ho Chi Minh City, still called Saigon by many of its people, is a city of layers. French colonial buildings such as the red-brick Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica sit next to glass towers, and a few streets further stands the Reunification Palace, where the Vietnam War effectively ended in 1975. This is the history behind today's busy, cheerful city, and you can learn about it for a few dollars of entry fees. The cheapest rated stays start at about 5 euros a night.

What does it cost?

The War Remnants Museum includes graphic images, so some visitors prefer to go in a calm moment. Check the opening hours, since the cathedral has had renovation work.
